Setting Up the .NET SDK, CLI, and Angular Workspace

A solid engineering workflow begins with a clean, automated development environment. Let's set up the required SDKs and folder structure.

1. Prerequisites Installation

• .NET 8/9 SDK: Download from dotnet.microsoft.com.
• Node.js (LTS v20+): Download from nodejs.org.
• Angular CLI: Install globally via npm:

npm install -g @angular/cli@latest

Verify your installations:

dotnet --version
node --version
ng version

2. Creating the Solution Structure

# Create root solution folder
mkdir EnterpriseFullstack
cd EnterpriseFullstack

# Create .NET Solution file
dotnet new sln -n EnterpriseFullstack

# Create backend Web API project
dotnet new webapi -n EnterpriseFullstack.API -controllers
dotnet sln add EnterpriseFullstack.API/EnterpriseFullstack.API.csproj

# Create class libraries for clean architecture
dotnet new classlib -n EnterpriseFullstack.Core
dotnet new classlib -n EnterpriseFullstack.Infrastructure
dotnet sln add EnterpriseFullstack.Core/EnterpriseFullstack.Core.csproj
dotnet sln add EnterpriseFullstack.Infrastructure/EnterpriseFullstack.Infrastructure.csproj

# Create Angular standalone application in client/
ng new client --routing --style=css --ssr=false --standalone
